Matthew 27:25 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 27:25

23 Then the governor said, ^a“Why, what evil has He done?” But they cried out all the more, saying, “Let Him be crucified!”

24 When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a¹ tumult was rising, he ^atook water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, “I am innocent of the blood of this² just Person. You see to it.”

25 And all the people answered and said, ^a“His blood be on us and on our children.”

26 Then he released Barabbas to them; and when ^ahe had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified.

28 And they ^astripped Him and ^bput a scarlet robe on Him.
